Keir Starmer On Borrowed Time As Labour MPs Call On Him To Quit After Elections Disaster

The prime minister is being urged to set out a timetable for his departure from Downing Street.

Keir Starmer appears to be living on borrowed time as prime minister following Labour’s latest election nightmare.

MPs broke ranks to demand he set out when he plans to quit No.10 after the party suffered humiliation in England, Wales and Scotland.

Hundreds of Labour councillors have already lost their seats in English town halls, with hundreds more set to join them as results continue to be announced.

Worryingly for Labour MPs, the right-wing Reform UK made huge gains in traditional Labour areas like Sunderland, Tameside, Hartlepool and Preston.

The party has also been squeezed on the left by the Greens, who also made hundreds of gains across England.

In Wales, Labour has been booted out of power for the first time since the Senedd was established in 1999.

Eluned Morgan, who was Welsh first minister until today, also became the first British head of government to ever lose their seat.

She said the Labour government had to “change course” as she announced she was resigning as the party’s leader in Wales.

Meanwhile, the SNP has been returned to power yet again, with Labour in a fight with Reform UK to come a distant second.

Starmer said he took personal responsibility........
